Having been there and done that, Nicky Schauder offers her insights in Permaculture Gardening for Everyone with the intention of making the concept user-friendly for any level of gardening skill.

After two of their children were diagnosed with severe allergies, Nicky and her husband, Dave, started researching ways to combat the problem. They decided to grow their own food.

It took a while, but the couple were able to overcome the obstacles in their path, not only using the permaculture techniques they learned to increase the harvest from their own gardens, but to offer assistance to others wanting to walk the same path. With this book, Nicky has combined the couple’s lessons in permaculture with personal insights, photos, and illustrations to help anyone facing similar roadblocks to better health.

She starts by defining permaculture, then goes on to offer advice on designing a garden, choosing your plants, starting your seeds, designing a garden plot, transplanting the seedlings, maintaining your plot, and harvesting the bounty.

As Nicky says, “You and I have a chance to intentionally design one, maybe two, maybe more permaculture gardens in our lifetimes. Little patches of well-designed land, which, coupled with hard work and perhaps a bit of prayer, can indeed renew the face of the earth.”

Take the opportunity this book provides to start your own journey on growing food to help keep your family happy and healthy while becoming more self-sufficient and less reliant on a commercial food chain.

A Gardening Book to Inspire a New Way of Growing

Permaculture Gardening for Everyone is debut author Nicky Schauder’s inspiring guide, written to help backyard gardeners, families aiming to feed themselves organically, and environmentalists interested in cultivating more sustainable space.

Never intimidating or overly technical, Permaculture Gardening simply shares what Schauder has learned across a decade of trial and error, first in the yard of her family’s Northern Virginia townhouse, and, since 2022, on their farm’s bigger footprint.

The book is slight — just over 100 pages — and includes workbook exercises to help orient the beginning gardener. It’s meant to inspire, not solve every quandary a grower might encounter.

Schauder and her husband Dave have six children and began growing their own food when their oldest children suffered from severe food allergies as babies. Since then, Schauder has earned a certificate in permaculture design. The couple maintain a website, newsletter, gardening app, and series of educational videos at motherearthnews.com. They lead gardening workshops, sell microgreen subscriptions, and help maintain school gardens in their community.

For anyone interested in an introduction to permaculture or the inspiration to try a new way of raising food, Schauder’s book is an encouraging, helpful resource.
